While on the topic of other CAM systems, I just received the email below from Weber Systems, the authors of the Synergy CAD/CAM system. http://www.webersys.com
I've evaluated their system back at IMTS 2000 and thought it was pretty good. Now they claim to be able to read in native SmartCAM files as well. I sent them some of the default sample files (i.e. gsmill.pm4) and some job files and asked them to see how much tooling and operation information they can pull in. I hope to get some screen shots of the results. Is anyone in the group the user that Bob McPherson demo'ed for? If so, what's your overall impression of the system? Thanks. ================================================== Fred Lauzus, CAM Programming Coordinator High Steel Structures, Incorporated mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.highsteel.com ================================================== -----Original Message----- From: RCMTECH [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, June 28, 2003 10:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Fred, I had a demo with a company that is a SmartCam user he ask me to read a DXF file generated by SmartCam. I looked at the file generated and found that the DXF file was not DXF but a native SmartCam geometry file. So I readthat into our intelligent Geometry interface and it came in 100%. I then applied cutter path to the geometry given with no errors. Would it be of use to you to read old SmartCam files as is into a powerful Cam system for machining? Please advise, Respectfully, Robert C. Mc Pherson Weber Systems, Inc.
